new video wednesday: allejandro sanz feat shakira, badly drawn boy, jamie t, husky rescue, wintersleep, ErickE

it's an eclectic video mix today but with enough gems to entertain you for a good 10 minutes!


alejandro sanz feat shakira - Te Lo Agradezco Pero No
[thanks to kevipod for the heads up, spanish cutie alejandro sanz reunites with his 'la tortura' partner shakira in a much more adult contemporary collaboration. his scratchy voice (and crap video) irritates me, but one look at his smile and all is forgiven... sigh, there he does it again...]


badly drawn boy - journey from a to b
[though BDB hasn't released an album as amazing as his debut the hour of the bewilderbeast, i'm still constantly curious as to what this talent has to offer each time. this is damon gough's 3rd single off his latest born in the uk]


jamie t - calm down dearest
[at only 21, this uk singer/rapper/songwriter made a name for himself on the london underground scene by passing on his mixtapes to anyone who'd listen. obviously his ploy worked cause he not only got signed to virgin records, but playlisted by influential dj's zane lowe and jo whiley on their radio shows. this is his 3rd single which i didn't really get at first, but now after a few listens i'm kind of won over. btw, the boy is CUTE!!!!]


husky rescue - nightless night
[marco nyberg and his finnish posse release yet another single off their left of center album ghost is not real. to put them under electronica is not really fair as the group also delve into country and rockabilly. like i said, left of center, but always in a good way]


wintersleep - jaws of life
[(thanks to the sxsw 2006 site for the mp3) though the album was released all the way back in late 2005, it looks like buzz for the halifax indie quartet are slowly making it stateside. based on this wonderful song alone, i'm hoping some label will make it happen!]

and finally one for the beatheads:

erickE - the beat is rockin
[crap video, but has potential to be the next fedde le grand on the dancefloor]
